Who Wants A Hot Dog Cart?

Psst. Ever wanted to have you own hot dog cart? Maybe you’ve entertained dreams of making your own dirty water dogs. Maybe you’ve read A Confederacy of Dunces one time too many. Or maybe you’re just a rich person with too much free time on your hands.

Either way, Hammacher Schlemmer is here to help. We just got word that their catalog now features an “Authentic New York Hot Dog Vendor Cart. Here’s the word from HM:


“Made of durable food-grade 18-gauge stainless steel, the cart rolls on two 20” pneumatic wheels and a locking caster with two handles that provide easy maneuvering. It has three removable 360” cu. stainless steel steamer trays that can each hold up to 20 hot dogs or sausages. The front of the cart has a storage ring and hook-up for a propane tank (not included); propane provides fuel for the dual burner assembly housed in the rear interior of the cart directly under the three steamers; burners may be individually controlled by knobs in the cart’s rear. A top-loading 3,000” cu. ice cooler keeps your beverages and meats cold; a drain plug on the bottom of the chassis allows you to drain meltwater. The front of the cart houses a two shelf storage or display area for drinks, buns, or condiments; additional storage area is located underneath.”

The best part? The cart can be used to make Chicago-style dogs as well.
